The platform was brimming with a bunch of varied releases that broke new ground in more ways than one, and this feature will run down 15 of the best Xbox games of all time. 

Halo 2

The original Halo was a driving force in creating a substantial market share against Sony and Nintendo, and expectations for the sequel were naturally high. Halo 2 delivered upon those expectations in spades, combining an adrenaline-pumping story with a comprehensive suite of multiplayer options making for an experience that keeps you hooked and doesn’t let go. Hundreds of thousands of fans would have fond memories of duking it out against friends, and Halo 2 might just be the defining Xbox experience for a majority of those fans.

However, one name in particular that Xbox boss Phil Spencer has personally had his eyes on that may take some by surprise is MechAssault.

During a recent interview at Tokyo Game Show, when asked about which of Microsoft’s published now-dormant properties he would like to see a revival for, Spencer brought up MechAssault, saying that the series was “ahead of its time”, and that it’s something that he would love to “revisit”.

“I always wanted us to go back and revisit MechAssault/MechWarrior space, I think there’s a lot we can do,” he said. “There’s so much about that whole franchise that in some way was ahead of its time, and it would be nice to get to go back and revisit.”

Jokingly referring to the recent, massive Microsoft leaks, Spencer added that nothing related to MechAssault is currently in the works, so you shouldn’t take his words as confirmation of a revival. “We don’t have a plan today, so it’s not a leak of anything. Speaking of leaks… But that would be a nice one,” he said.

We have, of course, continued to see new games in the BattleTech franchise – primarily with MechWarrior games – but the last mainline MechAssault game we saw was 2004’s MechAssault 2: Long Wolf, which released for the original Xbox. It was also followed by a Nintendo DS spinoff, MechAssault: Phantom War, in 2006, though that wasn’t published by Microsoft.
